Can I do both?
Hello Arlene, in Hawaii, you can file both a motion to continue and a motion for an extension of time. However, the court's permission is required. I recommend contacting the Hawaii State Judiciary for detailed guidance.
What do you mean?
When I mention "court's permission", this means you need the judge's approval to postpone the court date (motion to continue) or extend the deadline (motion for extension of time). Contact Hawaii State Judiciary for more information about this process.
